OK,OK, I admit I really don't have a reason to start the Friday thread... after all, it's barely Friday on Bonaire and Thursday hasn't even ended for me yet. This is the only chance I have to beat our European friends to posting the daily thread. My guess is that I'll hear from Igor, Marianne (Joost), Martine, and possibly Martin before long. Now get back to work!

Have a great day everyone, I'm not going to be around the computer at all today so post lots of great pics for me.

Oh, and since I feel almost obligated to post a pic on this thread... here's one that you'll recognize from the southern tip of the island.

Michael

Great pic Michael.

Well, it's still Thursday for me as well... but Good Morning to everyone anyway!

Good morning Michael & all!
Thx 4 the photo Michael, that one brings back memories... sigh
At least IFTG!

Hi!!!

It is 3:07 AM for me right now. Don't ask!!

I'll got back to bed soon........

Bill

Nuts, missed it, the street cam light was on for a moment at 4:08 a.m., but I didn't think fast enough to save and post it. Oh, well, you'll have to take my word for it.
Good night, everybody. Its 11:19 pm 2/6 here, and I'm going to bed!

Bill, I will ask:

Good Morning everyone, thanks for the thread Michael, I'll do my best to provide you some nice pic's today

Joost

Good morning all,
Ready to spend a nice Week end ? Igor, they said yesterday on TV meteo report that the weather will be fine in Paris, but do not forget your brolly, just in case...
Thanks for the pic, Michael, it reminds me ,nice memories.
Well, it will be a cool day for me, nothing else to do than packing Tshirts, bathing suits and sunbolck I'll stay around the computer. Have a nice day.

Good morning Joost & Martine.
Thx 4 the weather-update Martine.
Sounds like we'll be able 2 do some wandering in the streets of Paris! Because we're living in the rainy Netherlands an umbrella is always part of our luggage (well maybe not if we're going 2 Bonaire)
The first light on Bonaire.

By the way, how is your throat Martine?
Have fun packing!

Good Morning


Lots of you up very early today.

Nice pic, Michael

Have a lovely time in Paris Igor

This is pretty

/image{early bird.jpg}

and Blikie is guarding today



Joost

GMTA Joost, so I'll post the sunrise


Have another go, Jos. You need \ instead of / Otherwise you got it right. Go on, you can do it. Have another go.

Thanks Jenni, we will!
Hmmm, Joost I don't know if u can call this guarding...


First light down there...

The sky is so pretty


Wish I were looking at it for real.

goodmorning to all , "early bird" didn't succeed, pity.
06.40 somebody entering the gate , hint for all you "archive searchers"
have a nice day , off to work ( again) jos.

Keep trying Jos! In the end u will get it!
Follow Jenni's instructions.
Here is your visitor...

Really early!

Hi Jos,
We all got the same problem at the beginning, and I was a real mess !
Igor, regarding the throat, it doesn't pain anymore but I still am with a head cold, and it is not recommended for diving. We'll be on the place on monday, that gives me time to recover. I also think that staying in sunny and warm country is the best therapy.

More light down there now.


And still very pretty

Jenni, good morning to you and Igor you caught Blikie when he was "under" cover, though she spots everything



Joost

Martine, also good afternoon to you, almost lunchtime. Finished packing. Have a good and nice trip

Joost

Nice colours.
Yes, Joost, it is lunch time for us , enjoy yours too. Thanks for the wishes. We are leaving sunday evening.

More beautiful.

They look like dozens of sargents major, pity the pic is blurred.

This sunrise is almost as beautiful as the sunsets

Very very terrific colours.

Hi Jenni, sorry, double post, I can notice that we both are sunrise lovers.

GMTA Martine. And it is stunning, isn't it?

Oops Jenni, sorry, double post, I can notice that we both are sunrise lovers.

Sorry folk, another double post, my computer is rather slow this morning and it says the message has failed when in fact it has been sent for real.

Martine
probably the machine needs a vacation too

Shall we see the divers ? They should be here soon.

Jake, Linda, if you think there is too much sun on Bonaire, send us a bit quickly, we need...

Life is sometimes unfair...

Hmm ! It seems the divers are just under Jake's buoy.

They are coming.

Yeah !

you're quick on that one Martine

Joost, I am superwoman's sister !
But during that time I am not doing the things I have to do. You see what BT addiction is... Are you taking over ?

this one is for me

Good morning everyone, from Toronto. Sunny and minus 14C this morning. Beach cam looks very appealing! The colours from the North cam do my heart good!
Jill

divers!!!!

Dive is over, everybody is returning to the boat and I am going back to my home work.

Froze on me

Oh no, after all that it was a double post. Sorry!

Hi Jill

Don't work too hard, Martine

Hi Jill & Jenni, it's quite easy to delete a pic if you use the edit button within 2 minutes after posting

Joost

the drive inn Cam

Morning from Upper Wisconsin. Temp this morning
-24 degrees F. Wind chill -36F. Great day to go snowmobiling (But would rather be diving).

T-minus 49 days and counting.

Mark

NO SCHOOL TODAY in my neck of the woods. SEVERE FLU epidemic at our district (Nauset/Orleans/Eastham/Brewster/Welfleet) and SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..it's pretty.

Annie

Ann, chemical attack?

Joost

Good Morning! I'm so glad it's FRIDAY!

Talking about chemical attack, what about this parrotfish bombing !

Good morning all.. .we woke up to 8 inches of snow and I'm watching it fall off the buildings all around me... VERY pretty.. school cancelled, but unfortunately not work


Here is a little something I just saw!

stef

Hi Stef, very nice shot.
The "little something" is named Bluebeard. Some reefcam dwellers got a name : Charlotte (the damsellfish), Satchmo (the truppetfish), Picasso (the spanish hogfish), Shiva (the octopus)...and other I do not recall at the present time.

Good Morning, Stef. We got about 8 in. of snow down here in Spotsylvania County. I just called my dive buddy, a teacher, and woke her up. Geez, some of us have to work regardless! I hope to go flying this afternoon if the weather clears and take some pics.

btw, nice pic of Bluebeard.

I know Satchmo and Shiva, and Charlotte, but didn't realize Bluebeard had a name as well! Not sure I've met Picasso yet.

Good luck flying.. it should be beautiful from the air! I'm sure flying is part of being a systems consultant, huh

Stef
Some more fish coming up


Joost

Good morning all, we are getting the tail end of your storm now. We are only supposed to get a few inches. Looks like you guys got the brunt of it. Sorry but that is fine by me, I have shoveled enough snow this winter!!

Thanks for the great pics!!

Martine- that good ole Bonaire sun will bake that head cold right out of your system, I am sure!! Enjoy your trip :-)!!!!

Well, fortunately I don't have to travel very much (clients in Fredericksburg, Manassas VA and Hughesville MD) but, on the other hand, it's unfortunate that my job doesn't allow me to fly myself on business. K

Maybe I should move to Bonaire and fly for Divi? Now there's a thought...

Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening ALL!!
Take your pick of salutation lol
Don't forget Pierre, the French Angel in the name list.

Would love to drop in a pic, but can't afford the time right now

Great captures by all this morning - even the doubles....makes me wish I was leaving tomorrow, instead of 5 WEEKS!!! But who's counting!!

Bill

James, that's a great idea. Jean Paul and I are wishing to retire in a sunny island. Jean Paul has a private pilot licence too and I am load master. Why don't we start our own Airlines on Bonaire

What in the world is that ? Perhaps Shiva cleaning the cam ?

Shiva is back !!!!!!!!!!!!

Start an airline in Bonaire? We couldn't get a permit!! Nice idea, though.

There is no doubt, it is Shiva.

James started an afternoon thread for all to join in on.. Here is the LINK

HEY EVERYONE! New thread started.

What a good little octopus

If someone would develop an airline that could get us to Bonaire in record time, we'd all participate! I actually discounted Bonaire at first, since most of the trqavel/flight times exceeded 11 hours!!!! Not until we found Air Jamaica, and saw that they only took a little over 5 did we make our plan.. I think I'm going to be glad we did!

Superturtle.. I think you're whole gang is going to be there when we are.. we're arriving on the 12th and staying at Buddy's.
